ACKNOWLEDGMENT 

Both Mrs. Richard Harding Davis and Mr. Charles 
Belmont Davis have patiently answered my every question 
and to them I return my grateful thanks. To Mrs. Davis 
I am specially indebted for having freely turned over to me 
for examination all of her husband's manuscripts and 
notebooks. 

EL C. Q. 



NOTE 

Years ago, Henry Quinby used to spend Ms spare time 
on dull summer days browsing around in musty non-venti- 
lated second-hand book shops. There began his interest in 
Richard Harding Davis, not only for what he wrote, but be- 
cause of the great quantity and variety of his writings. 

Mr. Quinby started making notes of his Davis acquisi- 
tions, and the list grew until finally it developed into this 
Bibliography, 

Before Mr. Quinby 7 s death on October 23, 1922, the entire 
manuscript was written and ready for publication, includ- 
ing the necessary instruction for the printers. It is now by 
Mrs. Quinby y s desire, published in its original form, without 
re-editing or substantial changes. 



INTRODUCTION 

By CHARLES BELMONT DAVIS 

WHEN Mr. Quinby first spoke to me of his project to 
compile a record of my brother Richard's literary work, 
I looked for a book of reference a careful record with all 
the limitations and all the dusty dullness that the word 
implies. But, to me at least, this volume seems ve;ry much 
more than the record of musty smell and crackling leaves, 
something much more than a success of mere research. I 
cannot see why this book should not be read before one's 
own cosy hearth as well as under the green lamp shade of a 
public library. The author was fortunate in that his sub- 
ject was a man of red blood and imagination, and there can 
be no more doubt that some of that red blood has been 
transfused into these pages than that the author has pre- 
sented the results of Ms research with a real and sym- 
pathetic imagination. In many of these pages will be found 
the human interest and the charm of a biography, and my 
great regret is that my brother might not have lived to read 
them. I know of no one who would have absorbed the book 
with so keen a pleasure or who could so well have written 
an appreciation of this labor of love. 

The author has been courteous enough to ask me to say 
something of my brother, and as the volume is devoted to 
Richard's work as an author, I presume I should speak only 
of that side of Ms life. Under such generous conditions I 
might take advantage of the opportunity to express my 
critical views of Ms literary efforts and speculate on their 
permanent place in the literature of our country, but I 
gladly refrain, willingly toss away the golden opportunity, 



xiv INTRODUCTION 

and leave critical analysis and speculation to those re- 
viewers and prophets who are far "better qualified for the 
task and far less prejudiced. There is, however, another 
side to Richard's work of which I may speak "briefly a 
certain physical aspect with which I was well acquainted 
and which I feel must impress anyone who has taken but a 
cursory glance at the pages that follow. I refer to the 
extraordinary amount of work my brother accomplished in 
the fifty-two years of his life and to its very unusual 
variety. 

At twenty-three Richard was a reporter and had written 
several stories for "boys, and at twenty-six he was still a 
reporter and had written several successful stories for 
grown-ups. At this time he was offered the position 
of managing editor of HABPEB'S WEEKLY, and as he had 
several ideas of his own as to how a periodical should 
be edited, he accepted the offer and for a few months 
of every year sat in a swivel chair and told other 
reporters how to write news stories. The rest of his time 
he devoted to long journeys, of which he wrote so-called 
travel articles. He was advertised as a " correspondent, " 
but he was still a reporter, and all of this time he was 
writing the fiction that gave him his early reputation. 
Journalism is frequently and often freely recommended to 
incipient writers as the best school in which to prepare for 
the authorship of fiction in a word, literature. But 
Richard, so far as I know, never admitted the difference 
between the art of journalism and literature, and, through- 
out his life, in his vocabulary the word " author " stood no 
higher than " reporter. " When he began writing novels 
he still wrote short stories and articles of travel, and when 
he wrote his first plays he did not let this work interfere for 
any great length of time with his novels or short stories 
or Ms war correspondence. Gouverneur Morris has said 
that Richard was a full brother to Peter Pan and never 
grew old in any case I am sure that he never graduated 
from one school of writing to another, because he held them 
all worthy and all part of literature. As a cub newspaper 
reporter he was a good observer; and as a short-story 



INTRODUCTION xv 

writer, as a novelist, as a playwright, as a traveler, as a 
war correspondent, and at the last as the writer who first 
told the world how the Germans entered Brussels, he was 
still first of all an expert observer. Also, through inher- 
itance and long training he may have "been what George Ade 
calls "a good deseriber," but above everything and in 
everything I am quite sure that Bichard's success was due 
to seeing something that the untrained eye did not see. 

And whatever criticism and difference of opinion my 
brother's fiction may have caused, there is no question that 
he had success the greatest of all success which, of 
course, is happiness in one's work. In this he was su- 
premely happy. He was happy when he conceived the germ 
of an idea, and he was happy in building up a story or a 
novel or a play on that idea ; he was happy when the manu- 
script was finished, and if it was a story he was happy when 
it was published, or if it was a play he was happy when it 
was produced. 

Until the last, no war cub reporter ever loved a good 
"story" at the front as Richard did, and no one ever suf- 
fered so deeply from the lack of one. I believe he was one 
of the most conscientious workmen I have ever known in 
his or any other craft. Towards Ms own work he was a 
harsh critic, especially so in the case of news stories, when 
acting as a war correspondent he had been compelled to 
write hurriedly and with no chance of correcting Ms copy. 
In writing fiction he toiled over every paragraph, every sen- 
tence, and every word. In addition to the extreme interest 
he took in all he wrote, he was actuated not only by a strong 
desire to please his public, but to satisfy the publisher who 
was paying him and incidentally always paying him well. 
His etMcs in his profession were as high as they were in 
his daily life, and the man who could bring discredit on the 
craft was beyond his understanding. I recall the case of a 
very rich man who suddenly became a world figure through 
being a leader in a famous cause. Whether Eichard be- 
lieved in the cause or not I do not know ; but the case of the 
man appealed to Mm as extremely chivalric and dramatic, 
and as such he wrote a news story wMeh was printed in 



xvi INTRODUCTION 

newspapers all over the world and for which I remember 
Richard received four hundred dollars from the syndicate 
who handled it. The day following the publication of the 
story the rich man called on my brother and told him how 
delighted he and his associates in the cause were and ? as a 
slight token of their appreciation, proffered him a check for 
thirty thousand dollars. 

"But 1 wasn't boosting your cause, " Richard said. 
4 * The conditions seemed to me to make you and your friends 
sufficiently interesting to write a story about. My article 
may have been worth thirty thousand dollars to your cause, 
but I'm not a press-bureau; I'm a reporter and I consider 
four hundred dollars a lot of money for my work. 57 

And to do Richard further credit, in after years when 
he would perhaps have welcomed the addition of thirty 
thousand dollars to his bank account, I never heard Mm 
regret his prompt decision to refuse the check. Beared by 
a father and mother who not only admired but had a genu- 
ine reverence for good English and for fine literature, 
Richard had no more sympathy for the author who prosti- 
tuted his talents for money than he had for the publishers 
who first began to commercialize literature. Throughout 
his life, towards the art of writing he was always as 
chivalric and old fashioned as he was unalterably opposed 
to phonetic spelling, sex stories, and the modern practice of 
permitting a good story to trickle through a lane of paid 
advertisements. 

But I fear I have wandered far from my original object, 
which was to show that as many of my brother's stories 
point a moral, so does this record of his life's work. Very 
old fashioned, if you will, the axioms may be found in any 
copy book "Honesty is the best policy" and "Work is the 
high road to success. " So it certainly was with Richard* 
Work and work and then more work and, when the mind 
and body showed the first signs of fatigue, seeking relaxa- 
tion in a new field of literary labor, a new vehicle wherein 
he could tell others of Ms thoughts and intei ests. As he 
expressed it, in the language of the squared drcle, "Mixing 
it up/* but never letting up, never getting 1 jred, or suf- 



INTRODUCTION xvii 

ficiently tired to let down in Ms standards; forcing himself 
across a continent or an ocean to find something* new and 
fine to tell others about; to bring a little happiness to the 
people whose work and cares wouldn't permit them to cross 
continents and oceans, and in the very telling to find his own 
happiness, because it was in telling a story, in one form or 
another, that Richard filled Ms life to the brim, held firmly 
to his youth, and found a great happiness and content.

To this monthly periodical published by the students of 
Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, Pa., Eichard Harding 
Davis became a contributor in September, 1882, only a few 
weeks after he entered college as a freshman. Volume II., 
No. 1 ? published in that month, bore his name also as an 
editor ninth and last on the list, a position he held 
throughout the college year and volume, in the last number 
of which there are but eight editors named. The first num- 
ber on p. 11 gives his name among the seventy-six freshmen. 

Though a reader familiar with Davis *s work can identify 
many things in the BUBB as his to a moral certainty, the 
first article capable of identification is a story about My 
Freshman, not yet named, the pet hero of Davis *s first 
printed series, Conway Maur. The identified Davis contri-

jump was "won easily by E. H. Davis, 7 86, who cleared 
5 feet and % inches." The football game with Lafayette 
took place Oct. 25, and E. Davis was one of the " rushers " 
on the team. It was their first game and Lafayette won, 
56 to 0. Davis was also in the "rush line" in the game with 
Eutgers, Nov. 1 ; and Eutgers won, 61 to 0. E. Davis played 
in interclass game, Nov. 8, as halfback, "and made quite a 
number of excellent runs." In the second game with La- 
fayette, Nov. 12, the Davis brothers were halfbacks; "E. 
Davis made a good run, scoring a touchdown for Lehigh 
the first point made by our team." The only one, for the 
score was 34 to 4.

Davis in the modest part of Mulcahey, bodyguard to King 
Lollipop (in which he sang several songs composed "almost 
entirely of brilliant hits at college affairs " ) ; and C. B. Davis 
was The Dragon. At the supper after the performance, 
B. H. Davis responded to the toast, "THE LEHIGH BURR 
Ha! Ha! Bevenge!" and C. B. Davis to "Mustard and 
Cheese; My Nap has given me an appetite." 

B. H. Davis appeared in the Winter Sports list of win-

NOTE : The front cover bears an eight-line Note of Ex- 
planation for the change of cover, to the effect that "the 
late managing editor, on being expelled from the Board of 
the LEHIGH BURR, captured the plates from which the cover 
was heretofore printed and retains them as self-satisfying 
proof of his being connected with the paper. " This note 
was by Davis and refers to his predecessor, who failed to 
print a severe criticism of the EPITOME OF '86. 

Mr. Howe states that this number was the first and only 
one produced by B. H. D. as Managing Editor, as the fol- 
lowing autumn he went to Johns Hopkins University.

THE EPITOME OF '86 was an account of the classes at 
Lehigh and their various members and activities in April, 
1884, when it was published, bearing the name of the Senior 
Class, that of 7 86. The Editors were selected from the dif- 
ferent classes, and Richard Harding Davis, though a 
Sophomore, received the remarkable honor of election as 
Chairman of the Board of Editors. He not only filled that 
office, but contributed largely to the literary contents of the 
EPITOME and designed the cover, of which this is a photo- 
graph. His initials, R. D., can be seen near the lower right- 
hand corner of the design.

and resided on Fourth Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

lesque style of a classical history, and begins: "Seventeen 
years after the founding of the city, Maximns Prex III 
being consul, the citizens in past times known as FraicJiies 
were admitted to the rank of Sophomores/' etc. This no 
doubt was Davis 's work, as it was signed Historian. 

B. H. Davis and his brother Charles, '87, were members 
of the Executive Committee of the Lehigh University Lawn 
Tennis Association, and on Sept. 15, 1883, Charles won the 
singles in the Championship Tournament, and both Davises 
won the doubles (p. 70). Both brothers were singers on 
their respective Class Double Quartettes, E. H. D. singing 
second tenor and Charles first tenor. Both brothers were 
members of The Hefty Dining Club, founded 1867. B. H. 
Davis was a regular member of the editorial staff of the 
LEHIGH BUKR. 

Among the facetious quotations from various students 
appear these: " 'Well, now, if it wasn't for this Latin I'd 
have a pretty easy time' (Chap. II) D-v-s, B." (p. 88). 

"Mr. B. D-v-s 'What is that Professor Bird reads 
every morning?' 

' ' Professo r * Proverbs. ' 

"Mr. D-v-s 'Why, isn't the Bible good enough for 
him?' " (p. 89). 

Near the end of the text are three one-page Dramas and 
Dialogues, Localized and Adapted for the Use of College 
Commencements, etc. ; the first is entitled A Scrap of Paper; 
the second, Noli Me Tang ere; the third, Tuition Free. A 
tragedy in one Act. Any one or all of these may have been 
Davis 's work, but as Noli Me Tangere is the only one he 
put in his scrapbook, we may assume that he wrote only that. 

The text closes with & couple of pages of Proverbs, 
jokingly applied to various students. One reads: " 'His 
coat not much the worse for wear' D-v-s, B." (p. 101). 

Other items without identifiable signature but preserved 
by B. H. D. in his scrapbook and evidently printed in the 
LEHIGH BUBE are : 

'A Girl I "Don't Want" to Know (four 4-line 
stanzas).

THE STAGE 

The Stage 

While Davis was a reporter on the Philadelphia Press 
he, with others, started a weekly dramatic review called 
THE STAGE, No. 1 bearing the date Saturday, September 29, 
1888. The front page bore the words THE STAGE in red 
capitals; below, in small black type at left, Copyright Se- 
cured 1888. Then a double rule across the page and the 
number, the date, and the words Five Cents. Below was 
a full-page caricature of John Drew with his name in 
type, beloAV which in autograph are the words : Perhaps 
you can see the humor of this I don't! J. D. 

Davis, under the name of The Lime Light Man, wrote a 
page of gossip, reminiscence, and anecdote in every num- 
ber, ceasing with No. 21, but not until No. 16, Jan. 12, 1889, 
was it signed ; then the initials R. H. D. appeared. 

THE STAGE was a little over 9 X 12 inches and consisted 
of twelve pages numbered 1-12 until No. 18, Jan. 26, 1889, 
when it increased to sixteen pages. 

At the head of the editorial column appear the names of 
those responsible, thus: Morton MacMichael, 3d, Editor 
and Publisher. Richard Harding Davis, Barclay H. War- 
burton, Associate Editors. Warburton's name last ap- 
peared in No. 14. Edward Fales Coward's name appeared 
as Associate Editor with Davis until No. 33, May 11, 1889, 
when their names appeared for the last time as Editors. 

Throughout the pages of THE STAGE, those familiar with 
Davis ? s manner can identify unsigned work of his ; the fol- 
lowing are more certainly identified : 

The Wreck of the Cinders Co. With Abject Apologies 
to W. S. Gilbert (poem, fifteen four-line stanzas, signed

stanzas). THE STAGE, No. 5, Oct. 27, 1888, p. 7, one column, 
signed R. H. Davis. 

Lime Light Man, The. THE STAGE, No. 15, Jan. 5, 1889, 
p. 5. One page on interviewers (mentioned the next week 
asbyR. H. D.).

p. 5. One page on advance agents, signed R. H. D. 

Lime Light Man, The. THE STAGE, No. 20, Feb. 9, 1889, 
pp. 4-5 (signed R.H.D.). 

The following letter by Davis to Ms brother Charles, 
hitherto unpublished, gives the best prospectus of the 
venture : 

DEAB Ghus : 

I am delighted over your coming home, but I wish you 
had chosen the llth as we then could have had Wednesday 
together. I will try to get the day changed, but I doubt if I 
will be successful. Morton MacMichael, Barclay Warburton, 
and myself will startle the American public on Oct. 29 with 
a new dramatic w ee ^ly called THE STAGE. It will be a six- 
teen page paper illustrated about the size of LIFE and will 
be published in Philadelphia. If it is possible for any good 
thing to come out of the Quaker City, this paper will be it ; 
and if it don't go, it would be [not] because the men who 
got it out are not bright enough but because the public is too 
stupid to appreciate it. We will run it as a corporation 
Morton taking $3000 worth of stock, Barclay $1500, and 
myself the other $500 to be paid for in work, not money. 
That is, I will be credited with so much money for work 



THE STAGE. 




Ihe sale of Lester \\ ill-ick's effects, in 
New York, recently, must have been dis- 
touraging to those living actors who think 
the hero worship whu h is given so freely to 
them now will follow them after they are 
dead, and that the careless public will 
irt.istire materul mementoes of them as well 

All of the relius put up at public auction 
brought but little over $400, a paltry sum, 
in (feed, and one that redounds but little to 
the credit of the late actor's executors, who, 
with a little'trouble, could have realized four 
times that amount, by disposing of the goods 
privately toactor-mamacsor personal friends 
of the great actor manager" 

A* it is, some EJast side barber wPfi delight 
his best girl at the next Star Social with the 
borrowed plumage of Lester Wai lack 

Actors and actresses, as a rule, best appre 
cnte the sentimental value of a property or 
some part of 4 costume once worn by a 
fellow-thespian We have an instance of 
it m Miss Ellen Terry's treasuring Mrs Sid - 
dorA shoes, which another actress gave her 
jusr before she essayed La fy Macbeth 

When Mrs Potter was last here, she 
showed me a dagger which B,*llewhad given 
her, which had once belonged to Kdrnund 
Kean She used it in Loyal Lav f, and I 
have no doubt that every time she held it 
aloft, the spirit of Kean writhed in anguish 

When Creston Clarke started out as .1 
star, his uncle, Edwin Booth, gave him his 
entire theatrical wardrobe, or at least tli.u 
Ionian" of it which he had laid aside, tin 
characters for which it was suited, hiving 
been dropped from his repertroire Clarke 
appreciated the value of the gift thoroughly, 
and wa? inspired to a greater or less clegm 
by the costumes and their history. 

W J Florence wears to this day the 
clothes of "Daddy" Burton, which he pur- 
( hased at the death of thb great comedian. 

Ml the young men emulated Burton in 
those days and Florence among the rest of 
them, and when hi* preceptor died, I* 
stmed out for h,m,elf with Burton vwn 
of DmbcfanlSon,^ in Burton .p art of

^ Florence, destroyed the effect of the 
e by hi| lack oF memory Florence 
game up to him at the end of the act very 
aigry arid *?ked hun what excuse he had to 
offer for his conduct; "Upon my soul, 
Mr Florence," said Parkes, " It was pure 
embarrafasiriLnt, when I saw > on standing 
there, looking for all the world like Daddy 
Burton, and talking like him, and acting 
like him, it was a-, if the spirit of (he great 
Burton himself was speaking to me, and I 
clean forgot my lines " 

Florence, somewhat flattered, said, "Well, 
don't let it occur again," and walked off 
He only went however, a-s far as the other 
side of the siene, against which Parkes was 
standing As he was waning there for his 
( ue to go on he overheard one of the corn 
pan/say, "1 hat was very ingenious, Parkes, 
would you mind telling mt what it was the 
spirit of the great Burton said to you?" 
"Whv," answered Parkes, with a chuckle, 

he said "tell that d n fool to take off 

ni) clothes " 

Thtreare a great many actor maniacs who 
value very highly any little thing which is 
associated with some great actor I can 
appremte this ni)silf t<? a degree, but not 
to the extent it is sometimes carried I 
know of one >o<mg man who thought the 
worn and rigged hat Joseph Jefferson wears 
as jRtf, was the most characteristic thing 
about him and asked for it Mr Jefferson* 
demurred " Why it's such an old thing," 
said the >oung man "That's what nnkes 
it valuable answered Mr Jeffeix>n, I've no

Have you seen the houris over which the 
dudes of New York, orthe "Johnnies," as 
the girls call them, have been wasting their

had blonde hur, and all wore large poke 
bonnets with artificiil flowers One "was 
dressed in black alpaca with i brown fur 
cape, another wore a black mantel covered 
with beads, which hid her figure completely, 
and the third had a heavy black jersey 
drawn over a brown cloth dress. She also 
wore a cape. None of them wore gloves, 
and their boots were very large. They 
were standing wrapt in admiration of a 
passing cable car, which caused one of them 
to say " Look, Maudie, at the tram without 
horses " 

They make up very well on the stage, as 
1 saw hter in the \uek, but on the street 
they are not as effective as the >oung women 
of the Casino, with their seal skin satks

the time I put on the paper if it fails. If it succeeds I will 
gain the stock which will amount to the total of my salary 
on THE STAGE if I drew one at space rates. In short, it ? s a 
"spec" in which the other men put in time and money both 
of which they can afford and in which I put time, some of 
which I can afford. So far it looks very promising, but its 
being published here is against it. I will talk over the 
details with you when you return. "We will move into our 
downtown office very soon and will be glad to have you drop 
in and smoke the $18 a hundred segars which Barclay keeps 
on tap. It will take a few mornings of every week and will 
be pleasant and easy work. The perquisites will be pleas- 
ant and I can get my name before the great American 
Public through it very easily. Now is the time to make up 
Clubs. Give my best love to Mother and Nora and believe 
ine that I am very anxious to see you. I am quite well and 
happy. All goes well on the Press.

I may add that Barclay has next to nothing to do with the 
paper beyond gathering in subscriptions.

SEPARATELY PRINTED WORKS 

CHRONOLOGICALLY ARRANGED WITH 

DESCRIPTION AND NOTES 

NOTE: The first auction sale of a collected set of first 
editions of Davis ? s books was that of Jndd Stewart, de- 
ceased, a well-known collector living at Plainfield, N. J. 
The sale took place by order of his son, R. E. Stewart, Esq., 
of Ghent, N. Y., who inherited the books. The auction was 
held by the American Art Galleries, New York City, on the 
evening of Nov. 21, 1921, and the set was sold as one lot. It 
included all the books regularly issued in hard bindings, but 
only three of the pamphlets, the extremely rare DR. 
JAMESON'S RAIDEBS (1897), and the plays, THE ZONE POLICE, 
and PEACE MANOEUVRES, both published in 1914. THE 
THBEB GRINGOS (1896) was inscribed with a 6-line quota- 
tion from the book and signed; A YEAR FROM A REPORTER ? s 
NOTE BOOK contained a 9-line quotation from the book 
signed; TPIE CUBAIST AND PORTO BICA~ST CAMPAIGNS had a 
3-line quotation, signed ; and an autograph letter, 1 p., was 
laid in THE RED CROSS GIRL (1912). With the set were the 
ADVENTURES AND LETTERS (1917); E. H. D. (1917); two 
magazine excerpts and SILHOUETTES OF AMERICAN LIFE 
(1892) by Eebecca Harding Davis. The entire lot was sold 
to the Aldus Book Company for $75.

These sketches first appeared in the columns of the 
LEHIGH BURR. 

[8vo, 20% cm. Collation: green paper cover, drawing of two 
men seated before a grate fire; the letters around the picture 
are : Adventures/ of my/ Freshman/ by It. EL Davis./ Illus- 
trated/ by H. W. Eowley./ The inside and back cover are 
blank. Two blank leaves; frontispiece, pp. (1-2); title (as 
above), p. (3); imprint: Moravian Print, 146 Main Street, 
Bethlehem, Pa., p. (4) ; text, pp. (5)-45 (46) ; three leaves of 
advertisements, pp. (47-52) ; two blank leaves.] 

The stories, each with a full-page illustration, bear the 
following names :

Unappreciated Zeal 6 

A Disciple of Theodore HooWs 11 

Conway Maur as a Thespian 19 

An Ass in Lion's Clothing 27 

A Commencement Boomerang 35 

A Midsummer Idyl 43 

NOTE : All but the last of these stories appeared in the 
LEHIGH BTJRB, 1882-3. Charles Belmont Davis says this 
was printed at the expense of their mother, Mrs. Eebecca 
Harding Davis, at E. H. D.'s request, and was for sale at 
25 cents a copy around Lehigh University at South Beth- 
lehem, Pa., where E. H. D. was a student. Later, the unsold 
copies were stored at the family home in Philadelphia, 
where he found them years later and destroyed all but a 
few copies, one of which he presented to the Authors' Club 
at New York, with an autograph explanation of its origin. 
This inscription is given at pp. 18-19 of ADVENTURES AND 
LETTERS, 1917, as follows : 

"This is a copy of the first book of mine published. 
My family paid to have it printed and finding no one 
else was buying it, bought up the entire edition. Find- 
ing the first edition had gone so quickly, I urged them 
to finance a second one, and when they were unen- 
thusiastic I was hurt. Several years later when I found 



18 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

the entire edition in our attic, I understood their 
reluctance. The reason the book did not sell is, I think, 
"because some one must have read it." 

The Authors * Club sold this at an auction at Anderson's, 
New York, May 20, 1915, for the benefit of the Belgian war 
sufferers. It brought $14. 

NOTE: Although titles in general, etc., are usually in capitals and small 
capitals, no attempt has been made in the collations to imitate or follow the 
capitalization, as it is in no case significant for purposes of identification.

A BIBLIOGRAPHY ' 19 

The cover design, in darker color than the cloth, is a 
football, bearing in gilt : Stories for Boys, surrounded by 
eight tennis bats, each with a ribbon around the handle, 
alternating with eight baseball bats, between which are six- 
teen baseballs. Below are three little sloops under full sail 
and below them a ribbon bearing the author's name, gilt, 
below which is 1891. A modification of this scheme appears 
on the backbone. 

STOKIES FOB BOYS first appeared in ST. NICHOLAS, New 
York Evening Sun, and other periodicals; then was first 
issued in book form in brown and some perhaps later in 
gray; in the first issue the protective thin paper leaf over 
the frontispiece is wove paper, i.e., held to the light, the 
texture appears woven. In the later issues the paper of the 
protective leaf is laid ; i.e., held to the light, parallel hori- 
zontal lines are visible in the texture. The type of the page 
heading is broken in the earliest copies, especially on p. 91. 
Published price, $1. 

NOTE: The English edition of STORIES FOR BOYS was 
published by J. S. Osgood, McElvaine & Co., London, 1892, 
204 pp. 

NOTE : A presentation copy of STORIES FOR BOYS (sold by 
Drake of New York, October, 1919, for $12.50) is addressed 
in Davis ? s hand to a friend by name, followed by the words : 
From a young admirer of his, with signature and date. 

Charles Belmont Davis says : 

* ' But of all the happy incidents I can recall at the 
Twenty-eighth Street house, the one I remember most 
distinctly took place in the hallway the night that 
Eichard received the first statement and check for his 
first book of short stories, and before the money had 
begun to come in as fast as it did afterward. We were 
on our way to dinner at some modest resort when we 



20 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

saw and at once recognized the long envelope on the 
mantel Richard guessed it would be for one hundred 
and ninety dollars, but with a rather doubting heart I 
raised my guess to three hundred. And when, with 
trembling fingers, Richard had finally torn open the 
envelope and found a check for nine hundred and odd 
dollars, what a wild dance we did about the hall-table, 
and what a dinner we had that night ! Not at the mod- 
est restaurant as originally intended, but at Delmon- 

ICO's!" (AD VENTURES AJSTD LETTERS, p. 59.)

issued in 1894 but without date, carries a list of Davis ? s 
books on the verso of the title page, and no publisher's ad-

NOTE: THE RULEBS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN was first 
published in HARPER'S WEEKLY, Vol. 37, from May 20 to 
Aug. 19, 1893. The date of the publication of the boot 
by Harpers was Dec. 8, 1893, the title page bearing the year 
1894. Later editions are distinguishable by the absence of 
any date on title page or by dates subsequent to 1894, or by 
list of books on verso of title page or advertisements of 
Davis ? s books. The Stewart copy carries none of these. 

Davis ? s trip began early in February, 1893, and addi- 
tional letters, written to his family, appear in ADVEKTTJBES 
AND LETTERS, pp. 96-124. 

NOTE: In an autographed copy of THE RULERS OF THE 
MEDITERKANEAN (which was sold in October, 1919, by Drake 
of New York for $12.50) Davis wrote : To anyone who has 
but a little time and little money to spare for his holiday, I 
would suggest his going to Gibraltar and then to Spain and 
Morocco. Sincerely Yours, Richard Harding Davis." 

NOTE : In an interview (Boston Herald, Apr. 12, 1896) 
Davis said of THE RULERS or THE MEDITERRANEAN : 6 ' That 
book, which people have, I'm told, used for a guide book, 
was written partly in the winter in Constantinople. My, 
how cold it was ! I sat with my legs wrapped around the 
little china stove and wrote on top of it, with my teeth 
chattering, about 'the blue-eyed Bosphorus.* There is an 
instance of getting the facts right down while under the 
spell of the experience. By the way, how's that for cold 
realism? I try to make the book interesting for a person 
who has never been there and does not know anything about 
the place. 9 ?

"Now here I have been thrown with men and 
women on as equal terms as a crew of sailors cast away 
upon a desert island. We were each a law unto him- 
self." 

Davis once said to an interviewer: "THE EXILES 
was suggested by an event which came to my knowl- 
edge in Algiers some people were robbed, and the 
man skipped to Brazil where no law could touch him. 
I asked the victims what they would give me to go down 
there and recover the money. Then it occurred to me to 
write a story on that foundation, in which a man would 
make his revolver a law." (Boston Herald, Apr. 12, 
1896.)

Charles Belmont Davis says : 

"In February, 1894, Eichard was forced by a severe 
attack of sciatica to give up temporarily the gayeties 
of New York and for a cure he naturally chose our 
home in Philadelphia, where he remained for many 
weeks. Although unable to leave his bed, he continued 
to do a considerable amount of work, including the 
novelette 'The Princess Aline/ in the writing of which 
I believe my brother took more pleasure than in that 
of any story or novel he ever wrote. The future 
Empress of Eussia was the heroine of the tale, and that 
she eventually read the story and was apparently de- 
lighted with it caused Eichard much human happi- 
ness/' (ABYBKTUEES AHD LETTEKS, p. 131)

A Poster for the Illustrated Edition of 
Three Gringos in Central America and 
Venezuela, 



A [BIBLIOGRAPHY 37 

Davis, with Somerset and Griseom, began his trip to 
South and Central America about Jan. 1, 1895, and re- 
turned about April. Many letters to Ms family appear in 
ADVENTURES AND LETTERS, pp. 140-165. 

The author wrote his brother, Dec. 31, 1895 : "The Cen- 
tral American and Venezuelan book comes out on February 
1st. Several of the papers here jokingly alluded to the fact 
that my article on the Venezuelan boundary had inspired 
the President's Message. . . . My article was a very lucky 
thing and is greatly quoted and in social gatherings I am 
appealed to as an authority." (ADVENTURES AND LETTERS, 
p. 170.) 

NOTE: The Stewart copy, sold at the American Art 
Galleries Nov. 21, 1921, was in grayish buff cloth, list of 
Davis books on obverse of title and leaf of publishers' 
advertisements at the end. So is EL Somers Somerset's 
copy, with his bookplate, inscribed by Davis as follows : To 
H. Somers Somerset in memory of the days when he was 
single, thirsty and miserable even though the crown of 
Honduras rested on his brow and wishing him well as a 
lowly British subject, a proud husband and a transatlantic 
cousin. Richard Harding Davis. 

NOTE: Some Central Americans were annoyed by the 
tone of this book ; one of them told a reporter that it would 
be "exceedingly unhealthy for Mr. Davis to return to Hon- 
duras in the near future. " New York Tribune, Sept. 21, 
1895, p. 7, col. 2. 

NOTE: A copy of this book, 1896, sold at C. F. Libbie's 
auction, Boston, May 7-8, 1918, for 50 cents. 

NOTE : A poster for this book appeared at the height of 
the poster craze and is by Edward Penfield, the most 
famous of American poster artists. The background is 
light green, lettering in black with red initials, the water is 
white with black and buff shadows, and the two human fig- 
ures are buff. Size : height, 44.3 cm. ; width, 29.3 cm. 



38 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

NOTE: A statement in the Evening Sun, New York, 
July 25, 1919, by "The Marquise de Fontenoy" that Henry 
Somers Somerset published his experiences on this trip 
under the title, The Land of the Muskeg, is erroneous; 
Somerset there described an earlier trip of his own to Brit- 
ish North America. 

NOTE : In an interview for the Boston Herald, published 
Apr. 12, 1896, Davis was quoted thus : 

"Have you seen my new book ? It has only been out 
a few days, and already there is trouble about it. 
When we were riding along through Central America, 
we gave away $200 (in fives and tens) to Americans 
whom we met on the way, and who asked us for money 
to help them to get back home. Since that statement 
appeared in print, several coffee planters down there 
(some of them friends of ours) have written letters to 
the New York Herald and other papers denying it, and 
alleging that every American in Central America is 
happy, and that not one of them wishes to leave. I 
wrote to these coffee planters to know why they de- 
liberately stated what they knew to be untrue. They 
replied that the interests of the country demanded it. 
. . . Pm glad I said what I did in that instance. If 
that book keeps one American citizen free from dis- 
appointment and loss, or saves one American dollar 
from going to Honduras, no one can say that IVe 
never done any good in the world. "

peared in SCKIBNEB'S MAGAZINE, Mar., 1914. 

Regarding SOLDIEBS OF FOBTTTNE, R. H. D. wrote, Dec. 31, 
1895, to his brother : 

"I am not much of a letter writer these days, but 
I have finished the novel, and that must make up for it. 
It goes to the Scribners for $5,000, which is not as 
much as I think I should have got for it." (METBO- 
POLITAN MAGAZINE, June, 1917, p. 28.) 
This book proved the greatest financial success of the 
author's career. In 1899 the one hundred and fourteenth 
thousand was being advertised by the publishers ; in 1902 
the one hundred and thirty-fifth thousand. 



40 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

SOLDIEBS OF FOKTUNE dramatised became a successful 
play, and in 1902 Scribners brought out a Playgoer's Edi- 
tion of the novel ($1.50, 364 pp., 20% cm.) containing 
eighteen illustrations from photographs of stage scenes of 
the theatrical version. 

In 1899 it was published by Scribners in a smaller size 
(14% cm,) ? in two volumes, in red cloth (Copyright Nos. 
166191-2), as part of a set of Davis 7 s works. 

In 1910 Scribners published an edition in size 18% cm. ? 
with 16 less pages i.e., pp. 348.

NOTE : Collectors of Davis ? s works will find it especially 
difficult to obtain this, as it was never issued in permanent 
binding. The first and only issue appears in both, trimmed 
and untrimmed form. 

In a letter to his mother dated Cardenas, Cuba, Jan. 
16, 1897, he wrote: 

"I am glad you liked the Jameson book. I thought 
you knew I was a F.B.GKS. It was George Curzon 
proposed me and as he is a gold medalist of the Society 
it was easy getting in."

NOTES: "Part of this book was published originally in 
the form of letters from Cuba to the New York Journal 
and in the newspapers of a syndicate arranged by the Jour- 
nal; the remainder . . . appear here for the first time," 

The copyright record in the Library of Congress is 
1897 ; the notice in the second edition of the book is 1898 ; it 
is, therefore, wrongly described in sale catalogues as first edi- 
tion. The second edition omits from the note above quoted 
following Illustrations, the words: and are here repro- 
duced through the courtesy of Mr. "W". B. Hearst; it also 
omits the printer's name on p. 143. 

The English edition, published by W. Heinemann, Lon- 
don, is also recorded as copyrighted in 1897 "with plate, 
pp, 125-26 lacking"; 143 pp. including 23 plates and fron- 
tispiece* 

The articles entitled Death of Rodriguez and Along the 
Trocha were republished by Harpers in 1898 in A YEAR 
A BEPORTER'S NOTE BOOK (which see). 



The English edition was published by W. Heinemann, 
London, Oct. 4, 1897.

Harper was Dec. 7, 1897. As correspondent of the New 
York Journal, Davis went in May, 1896, from Florence to

NOTES: The retail price was $1.25. Copyright regis- 
tered June 24, 1898; published June 25, 1898. In 1899 al- 
though an edition like the above was issued, Seribners copy- 
righted this (No. 66194) in the new 16mo edition with 197 
pp. Oct. 9, 1903, Seribners copyrighted THE KING'S JACKAL 
for the third time (20 cm.) with frontispiece, five plates 
inserted, and 43 additional pages, totalling 218 pp., due to 
the addition of The Reporter Who Made Himself King, 
published first in book form in STORIES FOE BOYS (1891) and 
again in CINDERELLA AND OTHER STORIES (1896), The Eng- 
lish edition was published by W. Heinemann, London, Aug. 
26, 1898, pp. 149, and in his sevenpenny series, June 25, 
1915. THE KING'S JACKAL first appeared in SCRIBNEK'S 
MAGAZINE, Vol. 23, Apr.-July, 1898, illustrated by Charles 
Dana Gibson. A striking poster was issued for the April 
SCRIBNER'S by Penrhyn Stanlaws from the portrait of Davis 
by Nicholson. The twenty-fifth thousand was advertised 
by Seribners in 1898. 

THE KING'S JACKAL bears some resemblance to KINGS IN 
EXILE, written earlier by Alphonse Daudet ; but Davis, it is 
stated, had not read the earlier story before writing his own 
(New York Bun, Apr. 26, 1914; Sept. 7, 1919).

CAPT. MACKLIN His MEMOIRS first appeared in SCRIB- 
NEK'S MAGAZINE, April-Sept., 1902, with several full-page 
drawings by Walter Appleton Clark. 

This story was reviewed by A. B. Maurice in the BOOK- 
MAK, Oct., 1902; INDEPENDEOT, Oct. 16, 1902; CRITIC, Jan., 
1903 ; is mentioned in "Captain Macklin and Some Others, ?> 
H. Sears, BOOKBUYEK, 25:332, Nov., 1902; "Character of 
Captain Macklin, " HAHPEB'S WEEKLY, 46 : 1410, Oct. 4, 1902. 

The English edition was published by "Win. Heinemann, 
London, Oct. 1, 1902, at six shillings, 

A second copyright on the book was taken out by Serib- 
ners in 1910. 

Davis wrote to Arthur B. Maurice from Havana, Apr. 
9, 1906, referring to Maurice's appreciative article in the 
BooKMAisr for April ("The Eepresentative American Story 
Teller, " BOOKMAN, 23 : 146) : 

"Nothing ever hurt me so much as the line used by 
many reviews of * Macklin 7 that *Mr. Davis ? s hero is 
a cad, and Mr. Davis cannot see it/ Macklin was the 
best thing I ever did, and it was the one over which I 
took the most time and care. Its failure was what, as 
Maggie Cline used to say, * drove me into this business ? 
of playwriting. All that ever was said of it was that 
it was * A book to read on railroad trains and in a ham- 
mock.' That was the verdict as delivered to me by 
Eomeike from 300 reviewers, and it drove me to farces. 
So, I was especially glad when you liked 'Boyal 
Macklin/ I tried to make a hero who was vain, theat- 
rical, boasting, and self-conscious, but still likable.

But I did not succeed in making Mm of interest, and It 
always lias hurt me." (ADVENTTJEES AND LETTERS, p. 
317-8.) 

CAPTAIN MACKLIJST and BAETSO:N ? S FOLLY were evidently 
printed and bound at about the same time, as there is an 
advertisement of both in the first edition of both ; but BAU- 
SON 's FOLLY was issued to the public in the summer; 
CAPTAIN HACKLES' in the fall. 

NOTE : Franklin Fyles commenced the dramatization of 
CAPTAIKT MACKLIK, but completed only one act. 

The following is from a long article in the New York 
Evening Post of Apr. 15, 1916 : 

"A side of Mr. Davis 's personality that never was noticed 
pnbliely was the odd, chivalrous interest he took in the 
wrecked gentlemen adventurers of whom he wrote. No such 
wastrel ever went uncared for if Davis heard he was in 
trouble. When the old soldier of fortune who was the origi- 
nal of Davis 's greatest character, General La Guerre, in 
'Captain Macklln 7 perhaps the most vital character he ever 
drew died in a furnished-room house in New York, practi- 
cally of starvation, leaving nothing but a trunkful of medals 
and orders, swords of honor, and faded uniforms, it was 
Davis who stepped forward and did what could be done, and 
in private almost wept at the thought that lie had not known 
of his old friend's plight, until too late to save him." 

A copy of the first edition of this (gilt lettering and top) 
and one of THE Lioisr AND THE UNICOB^, both inscribed by the 
author, from the James Carleton Young collection, were 
sold at auction for $22 at Anderson 's, New York, Jan. 15, 
1919, and were immediately resold for $15 each. The in- 
scription (from p. 52) in CAPTAIN MAGKLIE* is as follows: 
"the strange flag that tossed and whimpered in the air 
above my head, the strange flag of unknown, tawdry colors, 
like the painted face of a woman in the street, but a flag at 
which I cheered and shouted as though it were my own," 
Eichard Harding Davis, May, 1906, 

In 1902 the following letter appeared in the Sun of 
New York : 



56 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

To THE EDITOB OF THE SUN Sir: For some time I have 
been reading rare stories in the newspapers of soldiers of 
fortune in the present war, of whom at least three have 
been romantically described as the original of Eichard 
Harding Davis 's hero, Captain Macklin. All of this is 
bunk. Now, in the interest of history, let me tell the truth. 
Davis really derived his Captain Macklin from a certain 
American youth named Jeffries, a bright and gallant chap 
whom he first met at Puerto Cortez during a visit to Hon- 
duras in the early ? 90 ? s. 

Jeffries was the best fighting man of foreign birth that 
ever bore arms in Central America and was recognized as 
such. He became a General of Honduras nearly thirty 
years ago and participated in campaigns innumerable. 
After the overthrow of the faction to which he was allied, 
he went over into Salvador and for a period was the effi- 
cient chief of operations of the renowned dictator, Antonio 
Ezeta. So much for Jeffries, who can still be found in 
Tegucigalpa, when not on a visit to the States. 

I myself introduced Dick Davis to the respected General 
Maclvor, the original of his General Laguerre in "Captain 
Macklin/' in John Chamberlain's place in "Washington a 
couple of years after Davis ? s return from his Central 
American trip, and he was so impressed with the adven- 
tures related by the General, who had fought under a dozen 
flags, that he not only wove him into his book, but, to make 
things realistic, had the artist reproduce his likeness in the 
illustrations. General Maclvor died in New York, I think, 
about 1900.

NOTES: THE DICTATOR, though published first in 1906, 
was first produced Apr. 4, 1904, at the Criterion Theatre, 
New York, by Charles Frohman, with a notable cast. (See

THE G-ALLOPER was first presented Jan. 22, 1906, at the 
Garden Theatre, New York, by Henry W. Savage. The 
cast included Raymond Hitchcock, Edgar L. Davenport, 
May Buckley, and others almost as well known. Davis 
rewrote THE GALLOPER as a musical comedy under the name 
of The Yankee Tourist, with Raymond Hitchcock as the 
star; it opened at the Comedy Theatre, New York, Aug. 12, 
1907, and was a great and long-continued success- (See

62 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

As French is given on the title page at his new location, 
this separate publication followed French's separate print- 
ing of THE GALLOPER, unless French is mistaken in stating 
the above to be his first edition. (See note under THE 
GALLOPEB.) 

In a letter to his mother, London, Feb. 23, 1909, Davis 
wrote: "Seymour and I began work yesterday on The 
Dictator. It went very smooth. " (ADVENTUKES AOT 
LETTEKS, p. 340.) 

"William Collier produced THE DICTATOR. It opened at 
the Hyperion Theatre, New Haven, Feb. 4, 1904, and after 
a month or two on the road, it opened in New York at the 
Criterion Theatre, April 4, 1904, and it met universal ap- 
proval. (See PLAYS.) 

A comment by Arthur B. Maurice (New York Sun, 
Sept. 7, 1919) referring to a story by 0. Henry, is as fol- 
lows : 

"The situation out of which grew 'The World and 
the Door 7 is identically the situation of Eichard Har- 
ding Davis ? s play, 'The Dictator,' which in turn drew 
upon an episode of Davis ? s earlier tale, 'The Exiles. 3 "

"Besides his long and notable hst of short and long faction, Richard 
Harding Davis has done enough reporting in twenty years to satisfy one 
ordinary career. He has followed three great world-wars. He Haas gone to 
the hottom of the Congo situation. He has reported the Weat from a car

demonstrations of affection when the young men of his regiment cheered him 
from the trenches after the fight for San Juan, demonstrations o loyalty when 
the Republicans who had voted for him for President lined Pennsylvania Avenue 
and cheered him as he drove to the White House, demonstrations of good-will 
when, after his return from Africa, he rode up Broadway and the roof-tops 
swayed, and demonstrations of fealty and devotion at Chicago when the Pro- 
gressive party chose him for its leader

NOTES: The above collation was from the British

pamphlets from various publishers in a volunte entitled: 
AMEEICAK PLAYS, 1912-13. The size of this copy of the 
play itself exclusive of the binding of the volume is 18 by

for private circulation only. 

The title Who Is Who was used by Thomas J. Williams 
many years ago for a one-act farce still on the catalogue 
of Samuel French, the publisher; and Who's Who is the 
title of a short play by Miss Bolland, published in London, 
1908, by Abel Heywood & Son.

me that the paper wanted me to be ' neutral ? and not 
write against the Germans. As I am not interested 
in the Q-erman vote, or in advertising of G-erman 
breweries (such a hard word to say) I thought, con- 
sidering the exclusive stories I had sent them, instead 
of kicking, they ought to be sending me a few bouquets. 
Especially, as I got cables from Q-ouvey, Whigham, 
Scribner's and others congratulating me on the anti- 
Grerman stories. So I cabled "Wheeler to tell papers 
of Ms syndicate, dictation from them as to what I 
should write was 'unexpected/ that they could go to 
name-of -place censored and that if he wished I would 
release him from his contract tonight. Considering 
that without credentials I was with French, Belgian, 
and German armies and saw entry of Germans into 
Brussels and sacking of Louvain and got arrested as 
a spy, they were a bit ungrateful. I am now wonder- 
ing what I would have seen had I had credentials. 7 '

An Appeal 



by RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 



)OU are invited to help women, children and old people in Paris 
and in France, wherever the war has brought desolation and dis- 
tress. To France you owe a debt. It is not alone the debt you 
incurred when your great grandfathers fought for liberty, and to help 
them, France sent soldiers, ships and two great generals, Rochambeau 
and La Fayette. You owe France for that, but since then you have 
incurred other debts. 

Though you may never have visited France, her art, literature, 
her discoveries in Science, her sense of what is beautiful, whether in 
a bonnet, a boulevard or a triumphal arch, have visited you. For 
them you are the happier; and for them also, to France you .are in debt. 

If you have visited Paris, then your debt is increased a hundred 
fold. For to whatever part of France you journeyed, there you found 
courtesy, kindness, your visit became a holiday, you departed with a 
sense of renunciation; you were determined to return. And when 
after the war, you do revisit France, if your debt is unpaid, can you 
without embarrassment sink into debt still deeper? What you sought 
Paris gave you freely. Was it to study art or to learn history, for the 
history of France is the history of the world; was it to dine under the 
trees or to rob the Rue de la Paix of a new model; was it for weeks to 
motor on the white roads or at a cafe table watch the world pass? 
Whatever you sought, you found. Now, as in 1776 we fought 5 to-day 
France fights for freedom, and in behalf of all the world, against 
militarism that is "made in Germany.'* 

Her men are in the trenches; her women are working in the fields, 
sweeping the Paris boulevards, lighting the street lamps. They are 
undaunted, independent, magnificently capable. They ask no charity. 
But from those districts the war has wrecked, there are hundreds of 
thousands of women and little children without work, shelter or food. 
To them throughout the war zone ihe Secours National gives instant 
relief. In one day in Paris alone it provides 80,000 free meals. 
Six cents pays 'for one of these meals. One dollar from you will for 
a week keep a woman or child alive. 

The story is that" one man said, "In this war the Women and 
children suffer mot. I'm awfully sorry for them!" and the other 
man said, "Yes I'm five dollars sorry. How sorry are you?" 

If ever you intend paying that debt you owe to France do not 
wait until me war is ended. Nor, while you still owe it, do not again 
impose yourself upon her hospitality, her courtesy, her friendship. 

But, pay the debt now. 

And then, when next in Paris you sit at your favorite table and 
your favorite waiter hands you the menu, will you not the more enjoy 
your dinner if you know that while he was fighting on the Aisne, it 
was your privilege to help a little in keeping his wife and child alive.

What a War Correspondent said 
about Tobacco for Soldiers 



Among the papers left by Richard Harding Davis, the brilliant 
American War Correspondent and Author, his brother discovered the fol- 
lowing message, written apparently a few days previous to his death: 

"Men at home who breathe tobacco smoke as 
fieely as they breathe air, cannot know how much 
tobacco means to the man in the trenches, or rather 
how much the loss of it means. During the Spanish- 
American War, in the U. S. Army regulations, to- 
lucco was officially classified as 'Officers' Supplies.' 
It was considered a luxury. 

''When I cabled from Cuba that our soldiers in 
Cuba needed tobacco,, my appeal was ridiculed and I 
was asked if our soldiers did not also want silk paja- 
'inas and eau-de-cologne. The man who had never 
gone without tobacco, and who could fill his pouch or 
case at the street corner, still thought tobacco a luxury. 

"It was Sir Fiaderick Treves, during the South 
African War, who made people understand that foi 
the soldiers tobacco was a necessity. A man can 
hunger; he can suffer cold, fatigue and wounds; these 
things he can endure if he can smoke. 

"I have been a looker-on on seven wars, and I 
find it so with each of them, and with men of all 
races. Give them Tobacco and there is no hardship 
that they will not cheerfully suffer. So with the pur- 
pose of your fund, I, for one, am heartily in accord. 

"If the glorious record of the Canadian Troops 

has been made on short rations of tobacco, we may 

feel confident that well supplied with it they will in a 

short time be in Berlin, which is the heartfelt wish of, 

(Signed) RICHARD HARDING DAVIS," 

The above is the testimony of a man who had been through seven wars, 
and who himself knew personally a soldier's needs. 

Unfortunately, the money being subscribed to the Belgian Soldiers* 
Tobacco Fund is insufficient to provide each man with a weekly tobacco sup- 
ply, and an earnest appeal is made for more funds. Those who can render 
assistance are invited to communicate with Francis R. Jones, the Organizing 
Secietary, Flatiron Building, New York. 

A hitherto unpublished note on Tobacco in 
War, written just before Richard Harding 
Davis's death.

Chanler, at the pageant for the La Fayette Fund at the 
Century Theatre, Few York City, called The Children's 
Revolution, Mar. 4, 1915. It is said that when the ehild 
ran off the stage after reciting, Davis was so affected by 
emotion that he caught the boy in his arms and pressed Mm 
convulsively to his breast while the tears ran down Ms 
cheeks. 

The recitation appeared on the program of the en- 
tertainment thus : Address. Written expressly for Ashley 
Chanler by Richard Harding Davis.

The La Fayette Fund (1914) 

Mr. Davis contributed in November, 1914, a paragraph 
for a folder for the La Fayette Fund. The paragraph is 
as follows : 

"This winter on the Aisne, along a battle line ex- 
tending a hundred miles, in trenches of frozen earth, 
the men of France and of her Allies, covered with ice 
and driven by hail and sleet, are fighting for the ideals 
of Democracy. It is not only shells that kill, but there 
is the suffering from cold and exposure. [Will you 
help to relieve that suffering?*] Wlien in the snows 
of Valley Forge your ancestors struggled to create this 
Eepublie, the strangers who came to their aid were 
La Fayette and the people of France. Let us now 
manifest our sympathy by efforts to relieve the suffer- 
ing of her soldiers." 

[Description: Two-page folder, outside pages blank, inside, 
left-hand page, portrait of La Fayette in upper left-hand 
corner; at top: "Peace founded on the sanctity of contracts 
"between nations. ?? Below, and alongside the portrait, the 
paragraph by Davis set forth above. Below, information 
about the La Fayette Kit: "The first for Christmas delivery

tributions and list of the Executive Committee ; below, Letter 
No. 1. Size of whole two-page sheet, 9% by 14% inches. 
Size of print page: 6 by 8% inches.] 

NOTES : The first printing above described was quickly 
followed by Type IL ? as it is called in the scrapbook of the 
La Fayette Fund, which differed in some respects from 
Type I. The names of Richard Harding Davis and 
G-ouverneur Morris appear as added to the Executive Com- 
mittee. Reference to the Christmas delivery is omitted, as 
are two lines near the bottom of the first page. Type III. 
is similar, but is distinguished from the previous types by 
the addition of the names of Messrs. "William Beverly 
Rogers and Charles S. Scribner, Jr., to the Executive Com- 
mittee. Another form of this letter was issued from Phila- 
delphia on a single sheet probably early in January, 1915, 
the names of the Executive Committee being those of resi- 
dents of Philadelphia. 

The La Fayette Fund issued a circular early in its 
career, entitled "Have You Subscribed?'' Mr. Er Lawshe 
was in their employ and wrote the circular. On the second 
page the paragraph beginning, " There is a parallel page 
in the world's history that records the cradling of liberty at 
Bunker Hill/' etc., Mr. Lawshe tells me he wrote, but the 
paragraph, was amended in some respects by Richard 
Harding Davis. He does not remember exactly what words 
or sentences were changed, but they were not numerous.

describes the facts and circumstances mentioned in the 
story. This introduction with The Deserter, the latter 
under the title The Man Who Had Everything, was pub- 
lished in THE LOST Bo AD, edition of 1916 (q.v.). The true 
sequel to THE DESERTER, telling what happened to him, 
related "by William Grinn Shepherd, one of the war corre- 
spondents with Davis at Salonika, appeared in the METRO- 
POLITAN, July, 1917, under the title The Scar That Tripled, 
then published in binding uniform with THE DESERTER; 
with it are printed a number of photographs of scenes men- 
tioned in the story. This story was published by Harper 
& Brothers in book form Jan. 26, 1918 (price 50 cents). 

NOTE: In December, 1917, THE DESERTER, with Mc- 
Cutcheon's introduction, was added to Scribner's series of

SERTER amounted to $1500 at the time of the accounting

25. RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

His complete novels and tales in twelve volumes. 

Upon the appearance of Mr. Davis in New York m the capacity of an editor 
of Harpers Weekly y he was greeted by the Review of Reviews in these apprecia- 
tive words: 'Of our younger American journalists and magazine writers., none 
has won public favor more rapidly or more completely than Richard Harding 
Davis. As a writer of short stories and of descriptive sketches, he Is exceed- 
ingly felicitous. He adds a truly literary touch to a marked journalistic in- 
stinct, and his^place is already secure among the acceptable writers of the day/* 
m Booth Tarkington said of him: "All his writing has the liveliness of spring- 
time; it stirs with an unsuppressible gayety, and It has the attraction which 
companionship with him had: there is never enough. He could be sharp; he 
could write angrily and witJieringly; but even when he was fiercest he was 
buoyant^ and when his words were hot they were not scalding, but rather of a 
dry, clean indignation with things which he believed could, if they would, be 
better. Following him through his books, whether he wrote of home or carried 
his kind, stout heart far, far afield, we see an American writing to Americans. 
Youth called to youth: All ages read him, but the young men and women have 
turned to him ever ^smce his precocious fame made him their idol. They got 
many things from Kim, but above all they live with a happier bravery because 
of him. He called merrily to them in his manly voice, and they followed him. 
They will always follow him." 

Printed on white wove paper with photogravure frontispieces from drawings 
by Gibson, Clark, Christy, Morgan and others. With introductions by such 
famous men as Theodore Roosevelt, Gouverneur Morris, Winston Churchill, 
General Wood and Irvin Cobb. Bound in three-quarters crushed red morocco,

The Disreputable Mr. Reagan (1895) 

A one-act play by Richard Harding Davis, based upon 
his story, My Disreputable Friend, Mr. Raegen, published 
first in SCEIBSTEE'S MAGAZINE, Dec., 1890, and afterwards in 



102 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

the volume entitled G-ALLEGHEB AND OTHEB STORIES, 1891. 
The name is spelled Eeagan in the program. 

Says Charles Belmont Davis : 

"E. BL Sothern and Richard had many schemes for 
writing a play together, "but the only aetnal result they 
ever attained was a one-act version Sothern did at the 
old Lyceum of my brother's story 'The Disreputable 
Mr. Raegen. ? It was an extremely tense and absorbing 
drama, and Sothern was very fine in the part of 
Raegen, but for the forty-five minutes the playlet 
lasted Sothern had to hold the stage continuously 
alone, and as it preceded a play of the regulation 
length, the effort proved too much for the actor's 
strength, and after a few performances it was taken 
off." (ADVENTUEES AHD LETTERS, p. 60.) 

The program of the Broad St. Theatre, Philadelphia, 
for the week beginning Monday, Mar. 4, 1895, gives for 
Thursday of that week under management of Daniel Proh- 
man, E. H. Sothern in Capt Lettarblair, followed by "THE

The King's Jackal (1899) 

I have no information about the dramatization of Ms 
novel of this name except this sentence in a letter he wrote 
Ms sister from London in March, 1899 : 

" Maude is sending Grundy back the Jackal, to have a 
second go at it. Maude insists on its being done, so I stand 
to win a lot.'* (ADVENTURES ASTO LETTEBS, p. 258.)

have been assisted in this dramatization by Clay M. Greene, 
Augustus Thomas, and Eobert Hilliard, who was an- 
nounced to play the leading part in the fall of 1900, Liebler 
& Co., producers. 

Henry B. Harris, the theatrical manager, bought the 
play (says Charles Belmont Davis), but as Eichard Har- 
ding Davis refused to make certain important changes, the 
play was not produced. It never got into rehearsal.

under any conditions, and all on account of that train-

thing from the change of an empire's Prime Minister 
to what they would have done if the man on their right 
had "stayed out" I remember writing a story of a

OF EHEIMS CATHEDRAL; the Tribune story has this sentence : 
"Being at Eheims, I felt confident I would be served with 
the "best champagne in existence, but it was quite the worst. 
And so another horror was added to war." Davis evi- 
dently felt the flippancy of this, and omitted it in the 
reprint. Pages 133-5, 141-8 embody with slight changes, 
the Tribune story of Sept. 29, 1914, EHEIMS A WRECK

AROUND CATHEDRAL (etc.), omitting a few paragraphs at 

the end; pages 135-41 are from EHEIMS CATHEDRAL NOT 
USED BY ARMY (etc.), Now York Tribune, Sept 26, 1914; in 
the process of editing, either by Davis or others, the follow- 
ing are among the sentences omitted; the United States was 
"neutral" at the time the book was published: 

"The indignation of the world at this latest atrocity 
reaehed the Berlin Foreign office this morning. That the 
bombardment could continue shows the value the German 
army places on the opinion of the civilized world." 

"... It was not only carved stone and stained glass 
that the Germans wiped out, but the traditions of seven 
hundred years. ... By Huns and Vandals it has been 
ravaged and desecrated. . . . The French guns that are 
answering may save what is left of the cathedral, but mean- 
while, public opinion in America, if trained on Germany, 
would be equally effective. Judging by cable messages 
which I have received, objecting to what I told of what I 
saw at Louvain, the German vote at home must be large, 
and someone must want it. But there must also be those 
who honor the Church that nursed them. If her temples, 
her works of art, her historic shrines are not to go the way 
of Louvain and Eheims, they should now protest. Is there 
not also an Irish vote?"

CoL Carter of Cartersville and His Travels through Bul-

138 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

Ei chard Watson Gilder, editor of the Century, dated 
Feb. 19 [1891] : "By the way, do not be surprised if 
you read a story in Harper's about Col. Carter of Car- 
tersville and Ms travels through Bulgaria. There will 
be no names mentioned and unless someone feels 
aggrieved and fits the cap on his own head there will 
be no trouble but I have written nevertheless an excit- 
ing story of a war correspondent who lost his ewe lamb 
to a genial stranger to whom he confided all he had 
learnt of Bulgaria and who has been asked to correct 
the proofs of his own story by the genial stranger. " 

A careful search of the files of Harper's Monthly 
and Weekly has failed to bring this story to light.

had been put into prison, and while lie was there some of 
his friends, who were crooked, ran the place for him, and 
succeeded in getting it away from him. So when he got 
out they had possession of the place and wouldn't give it 
up. He came to me and told me about it, and I made up iny 
mind that the case was worth working up. I disguised 
myself as a Hough/ got acquainted with the men, and for 
two weeks lived among them. I used to be with them all 
day and until 2 o'clock in the morning. At first they were 
a little suspicious of me ; but they got over that and decided 
that I was i straight/ or 'dead straight/ as they used to 
say. Incidentally, you see, I managed to pick up a good 
deal of their slang. I explained my ignorance of their 
tricks by telling them that I only went in for big game big 
robberies, you know ; so they taught me a lot of their little 
tricks, and in some of these I'm pretty expert now."

In an interview, Davis once remarked: "We had 
an office boy named Gallegher who did some very re- 
markable things. Once I had to put a drunken cabby 
into his cab and drive to the office myself. Later, the 
desire came to me to write a newspaper story; I saw 
that a man driving at night under those circumstances 
through the falling sleet was interesting ; but make it 
a little boy who did it and it became dramatic. " (Bos- 
ton Herald, Apr. 12, 1896.)

col. 4 (20-line letter as follows: "To the Editor of the

Sun a letter in regard to soft-nosed bnllets which pur- 
ports to be a statement from Col. W. E. Gordon, V. C., 
Colonel of the Gordon Highlanders and to be signed by 
him. I will bet the German Ambassador $100 to 1 
penny that his name to it is a forgery, and that the 
German officers who witnessed the so-called ' confes- 
sion' knew it was a forgery. We will leave it to Col. 
Gordon when he no longer is in a German fortress, bnt 
free to protect himself; if he admits he wrote the letter 
I will send the German Ambassador the $100. Mean- 
while I am satisfied that when in order to prejudice 
public opinion in America against the Allies, Germany

prisoner, the state of the country must indeed be des-

Nov. 9, 1914, p. 7e. 

An editorial in the New York Staats Zeitung, Wed., 
Nov. 11, 1914, mentioned this letter and called Davis a 
"contemptible poison-monger/' to which Davis re- 
plied, giving convincing reasons from the alleged con- 
fession itself for believing it to be spurious. (See

I went out beyond* tKe Cuban picket lines very 'early this morning 
to within two miles of Santiago. The town seemed the picture of peace. 

1 saw no signs of any fortifications am! only a fe\v soldiers sitting 
where the trail entered the city, 

From a tree with a strong field glass I could count thirteen Red 
Cross iags flying of what looked more ike barracks than hospitals and 
over the churches. These Hags are so arranged that the entire part of 
the dtj fronting, the plain beyomt which the army is encamped in, ac- 
cording to mica of international warfare, incompletely saved from at- 
tack. 

It seems a bold tiling to suggest* but It may be possible that the 
Spaniards'^ Cfuktfy abandoning che city an4 that the- Hags are there 
to the inevitable attack. Officers who have just returned from 
other scouting parties entirely disagree with tills suggestion, awl declare 
they saw men working on trenches and ramparts, 

I also saw what 1 at first thought to lie the Sines of Cresti earth of 
t*nc1ie% but which later proved to be the trail, 

Spies from Santiago report that seventy men were brought 
Into the city after the force o! 4,000 were driven from their position

most difficult story I ever wrote was the return of 
Hobson to the American lines after his captivity in 
Santiago. I rode into Gen. Shafter's headquarters 
just behind Hobson, and with me was the late Stephen 
Crane. My dispatch-boat was at Sibony when we ar- 
rived at that place, but Crane's boat, the ' Three 
Friends/ was not there* I started to write my story, 
when Crane, laughing, declared Ms intention to pre-

Ms own story. He did all lie could to break me up, but 
I worked on. Finally lie began to tell a story of the 
Greek war. Now, there was no one who could tell a 
story like Stephen Crane, and time after time I would 
find myself stopping to listen to the narrative. Crane 
apparently was telling the story to others in the room, 
but in reality he was talking to me, and never was I 
so distracted in my work. I really think that if any 
one could write while Stephen Crane was telling a 
story, he could write anywhere/'

SCKAPBOOKS. E. H. D. left two scrapbooks, both now in the 
possession of Mrs. Davis. One was a cloth scrapbook, 
containing many personal mementos, and a very large 
amount, if not all, of the material contributed to the 
Philadelphia papers ; these clippings are rarely dated, 
but have all been included in this work. 

The earlier scrapbook, with marbled pasteboard 
covers, contains the memorabilia of his college days 
at Lehigh photographs, clippings from the Bethlehem 
Times and the LehigJi Burr, newspaper items about his 
tennis matches, MS. and printed material regarding 
the Arcadia and other organizations Davis was inter- 
ested in, and the like ; and clippings and pictures de- 
scribing his trip through the South with Col. A. K. 
McClure in January, 1885. 

None of the newspaper items or the articles from 
the Bethlehem Times are signed, but Charles Belmont 
Davis has indicated these two which he believes his 
brother wrote. The dates are not given on the clip- 
pings, but they were probably published during the 
months mentioned.

Asebert. I had on me a three-thousand word story, 
written that morning in Eheims, telling of the wanton 
destruction of the cathedral. I asked the General 
Staff, for their own good, to let the story go through. 
It stated only facts which I believed, were they known 
to civilized people, would cause them to protest against 
a repetition of such outrages. To get the story on the 
wire I made to Lieutenant Lucien Frechet and Major 
Klotz of the General Staff, a sporting offer. For every 
word of my despatch they censored, I offered to give 
them for the Eed Cross of France five francs. , . 
Their answer was to put [me] in the Cherche-Midi 
prison. The next day the censor read my story and 
said to Lieutenant Frechet and Major Klotz: 'But I 
insist this goes at once. It should have been sent 
twenty-four hours ago.' " (With the Allies, 1914, pp.

accused me of having used in the story an incident in

I wrote the story before the incident happened/'

paragraph: "When they broke the door of her room

middle of the floor on her "back. She had on a Mack lace 
gown, open at the throat, and showing through the lace 
sleeves the form and beauty of her arms. She had 
torn the lace gown in her convulsions, and her eyes 
were staring and bloodshot and her month open and 
covered with froth. It would have been a most un- 
pleasant thing for Mr. Bradley to have seen." 

R. BL D. wrote his brother Charles soon after the 
publication of this news article as follows: "Dear 
Chas : Brisbane has suggested to me that the Bradley 
story would lead anyone to suppose that my evenings 
were spent in the boudoirs of the horizontals of 34th 
Street, and has scared me somewhat in consequence. 
. . . It is hardly a fair thing to suppose that a man 
must have an intimate acquaintance with whatever he 
writes of intimately. ... As a matter of fact, they 
would not let me in the room, and I don't know whether 
it abounded in signed etchings or Bougereau's 
nymphs." (Adventures and Letters, pp. 48-9.)

by the Davis estate for motion-picture purposes prior to 
February 6, 1920, on which date Fox Film Corporation 
bought the rights to the remaining stories, sixty-seven in 
number, leaving only a play or two undisposed of. A list 
of the rights so purchased was published in Moving Picture 
World, Feb. 21, 1920. William Fox, president of the pur- 
chasing corporation, announced in April, 1920, that he had 
arranged to star Mrs. Richard Harding Davis (Bessie 
McCoy) in a series of feature productions based on the 
Davis stories, production to begin at once. (Exhibitor's 
Trade Review, Apr. 10, 1920) ; but none had been produced 
up to Jan. 1, 1923, except The Men of Zanzibar; Mrs. Davis 
was not employed. 

Film rights to The Naked Man were sold to William A.

234 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

In 1917 The Bar Sinister motion-picture rights were 
sold to Edgar Lewis, who has not produced it, "but I have 
been unable to confirm this. The Bar Sinister, produced 
in May, 1917, In eight reels by Frank Hall Productions, Inc., 
The Man Who Had Everything, released in 1920 by Gold- 
wyn Pictures Corporation with Jack Pickford and The 
Trap, Universal-Jewel production with Lon Chaney, April, 
1922, were neither of them based on stories by Davis. 

I ani greatly indebted for information regarding the 
Davis films to Mrs. Cora C. Wllkening of New York City, 
one of the best known American play brokers, who was Mr. 
Davis 's agent. 

PICTUEE PBODUCTIONS 

1. Banson's Folly. The scenario was prepared by 
R. H. D. and varies somewhat from the novel; the Post 
Trader shoots himself at the finale. The Edison Manufac- 
turing Co. produced the picture (No. 6595), which consisted 
of only a thousand feet of film not more than one-fifth of 
the ordinary picture of similar general class today. The 
picture was released Mar. 1, 1910, the first of Davis ? s stories 
to be filmed. It was reviewed with a synopsis in Moving 
Picture World, Vol. VI, p. 349, Mar. 5, 1910. 

2. Her First Appearance. This, the second film based 
on a Davis plot, was also made by Edison Manufacturing 
Co., and was released Apr. 15, 1910; it consisted of " ap- 
proximately nine hundred and ninety feet" of film, says the 
producer's advertisement, which also says it was "adapted 
by Eichard Harding Davis from his famous story of the 
same title. The infatuation of a society man for an actress, 
their marriage, her deception, their estrangement, her 
death, and the subsequent reunion of father and child 
graphically and convincingly presented, magnificently 
staged and costumed, and interpreted by a special cast, with 
Mr. Eobert Connes in the role of Van Bibber. " 

It takes only twelve minutes to run off a thousand feet 
of film, and thus to concentrate this elaborate narrative 
"convincingly" must have been a remarkable feat.

The hero of The Celebrity, a novel by Winston Churchill 
(Macmillan, 1898), was said to have been drawn from 
Eichard Harding Davis, but the character of the hero and 
the plot show the absurdity of any such rumor. When 
asked by an interviewer if "The Celebrity " was Eichard 
Harding Davis, Winston Churchill replied: "No, indeed. 
At the time I was living a very retired life. I had never met 
Mr. Davis and knew nothing about him. So that I was 
thunderstruck when the reviewers all came out and charged 
me with caricaturing him." William Wallace Whitelock in 
Authors of Our Day in Their Homes (New York, 1902), 
p. 49. 

The Literary Guillotine (anonymous) (published for 



254 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

the author by John Lane, Oct., 1903) contains a rather 
savage and entirely unjustifiable burlesque trial of Richard 
Harding Davis for lese-majeste to the cause of letters. 
"Held, that in writing exclusively for the Young Person, 
the introduction of improprieties, however veiled, and the 
perpetration of impossibilities in order to avoid the same 
are equally criminal, and constitute the same offense 5 ' 
(pp. 1-32). 

An enlightening, as well as favorable and friendly ap- 
preciation of Davis ? s character was written by his intimate 
friend Gouverneur Morris and first appeared in the Metro- 
politan for April, 1916; then in the little book entitled 
R. H. D. (Scribner, 1917).

THE HAT AND ITS INMATE 

(Judge, New York, Feb. 1, 1882) 

We went to hear "Othello" last night and see Eossi. 
What we did see was a hat, and what we heard were the 
following criticisms, addressed particularly to the suffering 
male escort, but audible to the delighted audience in the 
near vicinity : 

SHE I thought it was Clara Morris we were to see. 
She's so good ; makes you cry all the time ; just lovely. I've 
seen McCullough in the play of Polionus, or lago, or some- 
thing. 

HE (suggestively) Othello ? 

SHE Yes, that's it; the colored one. I thought from 
that it was going to be something like the minstrels, but it 
wasn't. That one in the blue suit's elegant, isn't he? He 
takes his part well; smiles so nice. 

HE (doubtfully) Yes, the lago is good. 

SHE Oh, do you like him? I think he's horrid, deceiv- 
ing poor Othello that way. 

HE Oh, I referred to his conception. He realizes 
the 

SHE Yes. I wonder if that's Desdemona's own hair. 
I don't see how any one could fall in love with her. She's 
a perfect fright; and that dress is not real velvet; don't 
believe it cost more than twenty-five cents a yard. I knew 
an actor once ; met him at Mt. Desert. He said he thought 
he could play Armand well, better than Charley Thome; 
and he told me, confidentially, he didn't think much of 
Wallack. He played the Cabman in "Our Boarding

House" then, not Wallack, the other one (refreshing 
pause). What are they pulling down the lights for? Are 
they going to shoot any pistols? If they do 111 scream 
(breathless pause). Well, I am glad it's over. That's the 
way it ended the last time I saw it. I think they ought to 
change that. I like it best when they all get married off, 
and stand in a row and bow. But he's married already, 
isn't he? Have yon got the glasses? It was not a bit 
funny, real sorrowful, like * ' Uncle Tom ? s Cabin. ' ? I wonder 
if they won't change that. I, lost in the crowd, still won- 
dering.

THE ALABM: CLOCK STORY 
(New York Evening Sun, 1889-90) 

. . . Last Thursday a very rough and ready young man 
came to Mrs. Herten's boarding-house and asked for a 
room. He explained his appearance at that hour by saying 
that he was a bartender and had to keep very unusual 
hours, and that sometimes he slept at night and sometimes 
through the day. 

"He was very rough with me," Mrs. Herten said. "I 
did not like him. But he say, 'Why not?' I must work and 
I must sleep.' " 

So the old German woman gave him her top room for 
$1 a week, and he came and went at any hour that pleased 
him best, and no one asked him any questions, not even his 
name. Last night he told Mrs. Herten that he wanted the 
larger room on the top floor, the one which rented for $1.50. 
He paid the money and went upstairs. That was at seven 
o 'clock. Whether he went out again immediately or not, no 
one knows, for he has not been seen since. 

Mrs. Herten heard some one come in at about two in 
the morning and go heavily upstairs. Whether this was 
Callaghan or the barkeeper without a name, she does not 
know. 



290 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 

Her son, Charlie Herten, a young man, sleeps on the 
second floor. Mr. and Mrs. William Wardell occupy a room 
on the same floor. Mrs. Wardell "lives out" as a cook. 
Her husband spends a great deal of time in looking for 
work. About six in the morning Charlie Herten awoke with 
the confused idea that some one was "breaking into the 
room. As he became awake he recognized the noise as the 
crackling of timber and felt the heat of a hot fire. He 
jumped out of bed, picked up a pitcher of water, and ran 
into the hall. The upper floor was lighted up and blazing 
with flames, and the smoke was creeping down the narrow 
stairs like a stream of hot steam. He ran through to the 
upper floor to arouse the barkeeper, but the door of that 
man's room was ajar and the flames were pouring out of it. 
He could not pass them to get to Callaghan's room, and so 
ran down stairs again. The Wardells were already in the 
street. Then Herten burst into his mother's room and 
found it filled with smoke, which was pouring out of the 
chimney place as thickly as though the opening were the 
upper instead of the lower one. 

His mother was partly unconscious and choking. He 
caught her around the waist and lifted and dragged her 
out into the street. As he left the house the firemen passed 
him with the hose in their hands. He yelled to them that 
there was a man on the top floor asleep, but he does not 
think they heard him. 

His warning was useless in any event, for when they 
broke into Callaghan's room they found him dead in bed, 
with his head on his arm and apparently asleep quietly. 
The fire had not had time to reach his room, but the smoke 
had crept in over the top of the dividing wall and smothered 
him while he slept. 

The clock at his bedside was ticking regularly, and as 
the last of the firemen were sweeping the water down the 
stairs and stamping out the last damp and smouldering 
embers, the alarm went off with a sudden fierce rattle, that 
made them start. But it was just a half an hour late.

I do not know why I should have been asked to w*

it is that the papers lately have been paragraphing

English adventurer who was no end of a cad, and a "torn 
for a racing stable. This made me like Mm more than ever. 
When I object to being held up to public ridicule in this 
way, lie says it is not me he draws, but a tough model he 
picked up on the Bowery. And yet that never ^ struck me 
as an altogether satisfying explanation. Dana is less like 
an artist than any other artist I know. All the other artists 
of my acquaintance wear Vandyck beards, and are hollow 
chested and round shouldered from stopping over easels, I 
suppose, and never say anything against another artist. 
They always shut their lips very tight and as if to say, 
"Gold and precious stones would not get me to say how 
little I think of that man's work. I am a brother artist, and 
I am above jealousy, and I make it a rule never to say 
unkind things." This is what you gather from the way 
they close their lips. But Dana never keeps silent. He 
always finds something nice to say about all of them. And 
then he has a smooth, strong face, instead of a Vandyck 
bearded one, and the shoulders of an end rusher and the 
chest of a pugilist, and when he shakes hands with you, you 
wish you had put your ring on the left hand. People who 
do like him, for I don't myself, say he is as modest and 
gentle as he is strong and as kindly natured and simple and 
sincere as one of the glorious women he draws for Life.

owned them, kindly consented to their appearance 
here.) 

EDITOES ST. NICHOLAS, 
DEAB SIES : 

I received the manuscript of "Richard Carr's Baby 57 and 
your note of criticism a few days ago. Tour criticism of 
Carr's "breakdown" on page 9 struck me as a very just 
one and I have softened his grief considerably, but I think 
if it was lessened any further the point I try to make would 
be lost. As to your objection to Carr's being too ideal a 
hero, "a paragon " in fact, though I have made some 
changes in recognition of the suggestion, I still think you 
are mistaking the admiration and hero-worship of the small 
boys for my own opinion of him. It may, however, be my 
fault in not having made this plain. I know there is a 
popular prejudice to the effect that football players require 
less of the milk of human kindness than other people, that, 
indeed, the less they have of it the better players they are, 



A BIBLIOGRAPHY 293 

but I differ froin the majority in this belief. I have known 
some few captains who were humane and even if the charac- 
ter is too ideal it would be a laudable act to set an exalted 
example of muscular Christianity for next year's teams to 
aspire to. 

That such men are worshipped to the extent 1 make 
Carr out to be is undoubtedly so. Only a few weeks ago 
since I sent you this story a young friend of mine at 
Princeton told me with just pride and an evident attempt 
to excite my envy that he had ridden on a bicycle which 
" Tilly ? * Lamar had owned only a year ago Tilly Lamar 
being Princeton's sensational halfback. I am very much 
obliged for your suggestions and hope the revised copy will 
be acceptable. If there is still any line you object to, if you 
would mark it I have no doubt I would kindly consent to 
omit it or compromise on a new one. Hoping to hear from 
you soon, I remain, Sirs,

Enclosed you will find the receipt for the check men- 
tioned, for which please accept my thanks. 

If I may make a suggestion concerning the time the 
story should appear, I would say October would be pref- 
erable to November as the story has a strong Princeton 
basis and by November, after the Thanksgiving Day Game, 
I fear that Yale stock will be much more highly valued. It 
would be rather flat to chronicle a Princeton victory after a 
well advertised Princeton defeat; this, however, is merely 
my partisan point of view.

294 RICHARD HARDING DAVIS 



(From tlie Boston Evening Transcript, Feb. 9, 1921) 

Richard Harding Davis, Soldier of Fortune, Explorer 
Extraordinary of human interest, war correspondent, ad- 
venturer, friend, lighter and artist, loved all over the Seven 
Seas, was for a number of years a member of the Circum- 
navigators Club. Shortly before he died, Circumrichard- 
hardingdavis published a story in Collier's, from which the 
club took its countersign or call. This is the famous 
passage : 

"As the ship was getting under way, a young man in 
white and a sun helmet, an agent of the lighterage company, 
went down the sea ladder by which I was leaning. He was 
smart, alert ; his sleeves, rolled recklessly to his shoulders, 
showed sinewy, sunburnt arms ; Ms helmet, I noted, was a 
military one. Perhaps I looked as I felt ; that it was a pity 
to see so good a man go to such a land, for he looked up at 
me from the swinging ladder and smiled understandingly 
as though we had been old acquaintances. 

66 'You going far?' he asked. He spoke in the soft, de- 
tached voice of the public-school Englishman. 

" 'To the Congo/ I answered. 

"He stood swaying with the ship, looking as though 
there were something he wished to say, and then laughed 
and added gravely, giving me the greeting of the coast, 
'Luck to you.' 

" 'Luck to you/ I said. 

"That is the worst of these gaddings about, these meet- 
ings with men you wish you could know, who pass like a 
face in the crowded street, who hold out a hand or give 
the password of the brotherhood, and then drop down the 
sea ladder and out of your life forever. "
